FACE TREATMENTS
Gouri
For gradual facial rejuvenation, fine lines, volume loss and collagen stimulation
Rather than creating a strongly projected or 'filled' appearance, Gouri is used for gradual improvement in facial volume, fine lines and overall skin quality as collagen develops over time.
At Clinic RX, Gouri treatment is personalised according to your facial anatomy, skin thickness, areas of concern and treatment goals.
What Is Gouri?
Gouri is an injectable collagen biostimulator made from polycaprolactone (PCL). Its liquefied formulation is designed to spread through the tissue after injection rather than remain concentrated in one location.
As the PCL is gradually absorbed, it stimulates collagen formation within the treated tissue. This allows facial support and skin quality to improve progressively rather than relying mainly on an immediate volumising gel.
Because of its spreading characteristics, Gouri may be considered for broader facial rejuvenation and selected delicate areas, including the periocular region, when medically appropriate.
How Does Gouri Work?
After injection, Gouri spreads through the selected tissue and stimulates your body's collagen-producing cells.
New collagen gradually develops over the following weeks and months, helping improve selected volume-loss concerns, fine lines and overall skin quality.
The change is progressive rather than dramatic. The treatment plan, injection points and amount used are selected according to your facial anatomy and treatment goals.
What Can Gouri Help With?
- Overall facial volume loss and hollowing
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Under-eye and periocular concerns in suitable patients
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Cheek and temple volume loss
- Broader facial skin-quality and rejuvenation concerns
The most appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the concern, facial anatomy, skin thickness and desired degree of correction.
Areas That Can Be Treated with Gouri
- Cheeks - for selected volume-loss and facial-support concerns
- Temples - to improve hollow-looking temples
- Periocular and under-eye area - in carefully selected patients
- Nasolabial folds - to soften selected volume-related smile lines
- Chin and jawline - for selected contouring and support goals
- Overall face - for broader collagen stimulation and facial rejuvenation
Not every area is suitable for every patient. Delicate areas such as around the eyes require careful medical assessment before treatment.
What Happens During a Gouri Treatment?
01Consultation & Facial Assessment
The doctor assesses your facial structure, volume loss, skin quality, previous injectable history and treatment goals.
02Treatment Planning
Injection points, treatment areas and dosage are planned according to your anatomy and desired result.
03Skin Preparation & Numbing
The treatment area is cleansed and topical or local numbing may be used to improve comfort.
04Gouri Injection
Gouri is injected into the selected areas using an appropriate medical injection technique.
05Aftercare Guidance
Aftercare instructions are provided according to your treatment areas and individual response.
What Results Can I Expect from Gouri?
- Gradual improvement in selected facial volume-loss concerns
- Softer-looking fine lines and folds
- Improved facial support and skin quality
- Natural-looking, progressive rejuvenation rather than an immediate dramatic change
Some mild initial fullness may be visible after injection, but the main result develops progressively as collagen production increases over the following weeks and months.
Results vary according to the treatment area, degree of volume loss, number of sessions and individual collagen response.
Who Is Suitable for Gouri?
- People with facial volume loss or hollowing
- People with fine lines or early ageing-related skin changes
- People seeking gradual, natural-looking collagen-driven rejuvenation
- People with selected concerns around delicate facial areas, subject to medical assessment
- People who prefer broader collagen stimulation rather than highly projected filler-style contouring
Suitability varies between individuals and should be confirmed during consultation.
Who May Not Be Suitable for Gouri?
- Active skin infection, open wound or significant inflammation in the treatment area
- Known allergy to product components
- A history of significant injectable complications, depending on medical assessment
- Certain autoimmune or medical conditions, depending on medical assessment
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Use of blood-thinning medication without appropriate medical clearance
Tell your doctor about your medical history, medications, allergies and all previous injectable or aesthetic treatments before proceeding.
Gouri Side Effects & Risks
As with any injectable collagen biostimulator, Gouri can cause temporary injection-related effects and carries uncommon but potentially significant complications.
- Redness, swelling and bruising
- Tenderness at injection sites
- Temporary lumps or firmness while the treated area settles
Less common risks may include asymmetry, palpable or visible nodules, or delayed-onset nodules. As with other PCL-based products, reversal options are more limited than with hyaluronic acid fillers.
Appropriate patient selection, injection technique and prompt assessment of unusual symptoms are important.
Is There Downtime After Gouri?
Downtime is generally mild. Redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising may occur immediately after injection.
Swelling is often most noticeable during the first 24-72 hours and then gradually settles. Collagen-driven improvement continues to develop over the following weeks and months.
Gouri Aftercare
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your doctor
- Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for approximately 24-48 hours if advised
- Avoid alcohol for the period advised if it may worsen bruising or swelling
- Use a cold compress only if recommended
- Avoid makeup for several hours after treatment if advised
- Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided for your treatment areas

Gouri FAQs
What is Gouri?
Gouri is an injectable collagen biostimulator made from liquefied polycaprolactone (PCL). It is designed to spread through the treated tissue and gradually stimulate your body's own collagen production.
How does Gouri work?
After injection, Gouri spreads through the selected tissue and stimulates collagen formation. Improvement in volume, fine lines and skin quality then develops progressively over the following weeks and months.
Is Gouri a filler or collagen stimulator?
Gouri is primarily positioned as a collagen biostimulator. Its liquefied PCL formulation is designed for tissue spread and gradual collagen stimulation rather than highly projected filler-style volume.
When will I see Gouri results?
Some mild initial fullness may be visible after treatment, but the main collagen-driven improvement develops gradually over the following weeks to months.
Can Gouri be used around the eyes?
Gouri may be considered for selected periocular and under-eye concerns because of its spreading formulation, but this delicate area requires individual medical assessment and is not suitable for everyone.
Can Gouri treat fine lines?
Gouri may help soften selected fine lines as collagen production and skin support improve progressively.
Can Gouri treat hollow cheeks and temples?
It may be considered for selected cheek and temple volume-loss concerns, depending on facial anatomy and treatment goals.
How many Gouri sessions do I need?
There is no fixed number suitable for everyone. A treatment course may be planned according to the areas treated, degree of volume loss and individual collagen response.
How long does Gouri last?
The duration varies between individuals. Maintenance may be recommended periodically as the PCL is gradually absorbed and natural ageing continues.
Is Gouri painful?
Topical or local numbing is commonly used. Patients may still feel mild injection discomfort during treatment.
Is there downtime after Gouri?
Downtime is generally mild. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising may occur for several days.
How is Gouri different from Ellansé?
Both use PCL and stimulate collagen, but their formulations differ. Gouri uses a liquefied PCL formulation designed to spread through tissue, while Ellansé uses PCL microspheres suspended in a gel carrier and provides a more immediate structural volumising effect.
How is Gouri different from AestheFill?
Both are collagen biostimulators, but they use different materials. Gouri is PCL-based, while AestheFill uses PDLLA. Their formulations, injection approaches and treatment characteristics differ.
